Community Involvement

At Royal Life Centers, giving back to our communities is of utmost importance to us. Because We Care, we strongly encourage both guest and staff participation in our community betterment efforts and believe that doing so reinforces our mission— the guest always comes first— and values. Working toward a common goal helps us to strengthen our foundation— building the safest, most effective approach to substance abuse treatment— and create lasting change in the lives of our guests, their families, our staff, and our communities.

Further, we are dedicated to countering the stigma of substance use disorder and believe that our community involvement helps to spread awareness and fight biases.Elliot Bags

Whenever possible, we hand out care bags, named Elliot Bags— the mother of a former guest, Elliot B., gave us the idea— to the homeless living in our communities. Each bag, named for a guest who has passed away, contains food, water, hygiene products, a blanket, and a poncho. Our Elliot Bag project is closely tied to our homeless sponsorship program, as we offer addiction treatment to our bag recipients.

Homeless sponsorships

Each of our centers offers full treatment scholarships to two homeless individuals each month. Once a person has completed our program, we invite another homeless person who wants help with substance abuse to receive treatment at our facility.

Substance abuse is a major problem among the homeless population, as many homeless people have some kind of substance use disorder and little or no access to treatment. One study by the Department of Housing and Urban Development found that nearly half of those living in homeless shelters or on the street on a single night reported chronic substance abuse. We believe that everyone, regardless of their situation, deserves the best addiction treatment, and we are committed to offering the finest detox, inpatient, and outpatient programming to anyone who needs it

Street adoptions

Our centers “adopt” local streets to support community pride and civic responsibility, and our staff and guests volunteer to keep them free of litter and/or vandalism through regular cleanups.

Trash pick-up and community service

We also support our communities through litter cleanup and other acts of community service.

Royal Life Centers is committed to serving the communities we operate in and the addiction treatment community as a whole. Please reach out to us at any time with questions you may have about our programs at (877)-RECOVER.
